Congrats on the SJ harvest!
Have you ever grown that strain before? and if so did it perform the same as this time?

really hoping that willie fills out, how much longer are you thinking for it?

Again really nice job!

Hey DB, great to see you are still around these parts. Just hopping in to get re-subbed.

I've never grown the SJ before....but I used the breeder's soil mix, so it grew pretty well, as is everything else I'm growing in that soil.

You got it bro. I seem to do updates once a week, but I always answer stuff on the thread.

I've got a little surprise coming the next time I update.

Very nice looking plants Doc, my OG Skunk is starting to look a bit like your Willy Nelson (I almost just put looks like your Willy, but that didn't sound right at all) Starting to bud up a bit all over the super long branches, it was well over 6 feet in the 5 gallon pot before bending and scrogging occurred Unfortunately I don't have 2000 watts of lighting to spare so it gets 600, well I guess I'll see how things go, but ya, tall plants can be a pain, but hopefully the reward outweighs that.

dood that Space Jill's is a mutant! Im sorry I just noticed this thread!

Im growing C99 and have 1 plant that has a bunch of 11 blade leaves as well. Great stuff from the last few pages.

Re: DocBud - New Room - Super Soil - Etc.

Ok so I had to go back and read your whole journal. Very good stuff, awesome setup, I especially like your in depth talk about PH.

Keep up the great work. Btw what else do you do if you only do this 2 hrs a day?

Im outa here, getting stoned and going to wendys!

Re: DocBud - New Room - Super Soil - Etc.

Hahahaha.....no, I haven't posted the "surprise" yet. Maybe this evening.

RickyW, thanks for visiting the journal. I could manage this garden in about 1 hour per day, but I putter around a lot, sometimes just sit in the grow room with sunglasses on and gaze at the plants....

Watering takes 15 minutes, but that's only twice a week....1/2 hour general inspection/pruning.....empty a couple buckets here and there....mop the floor with bleach a couple times a week....10 minutes for record keeping/journaling.

Everything is automated except the watering.

I'll take some pics of my record keeping systems....I've changed them for this grow and I really like the method I'm using.

Also, last grow was the first mite-free grow I've had in a while.

lol, I meant, your garden looks amazing for only putting in 2 hours a day and was asking your day job

Re: DocBud - New Room - Super Soil - Etc.

PakiPurple is growing....so is the Jack Herer. Actually, the cheese is too, LOL. Willie Nelson? I'll probably get another crop from seed to harvest before its done.

this Cheese is starting to show off.......

Oh....what's this? A flood table? OG Kush? GH hydro nutes? Yep.

Now before you get all carried away and accuse me of hydro....I'm not the one driving the reservoir pump....an associate of mine is. But nevertheless, hydro is happening in Doc's lab. There....I'm out of the closet now.

 

[Doc Bud]

Re: DocBud - New Room - Super Soil - Etc.

OMG Doc has gone hydro. What is it you won't do ?

Damn!.....I told you not to accuse me of hydro! I have standards! I won't just grow anything anywhere....they're not my plants, they're my friends.....seriously.

really... The only thing we really know about you is that whatever you do its the best you possibly can with a massive amount of knowledge behind it.

Those tables look first class as usual with anything associated with you!

Keep it up and keep it green doc!

Thanks bro. The guy behind the hydro set up has been growing the same 2 strains for 15 years. He has it down so well he doesn't pH....and does res changes in about 10 minutes, nutes and all. He uses a giant plastic beaker for measuring nutes and needs no notes or charts.

About 9 ingredients in the current mix....with tweaks and additions on a week by week basis.

Oh....it's the best OG Kush I've ever had....and it's hydro. I'll be growing some in the soil and we'll do a little comparison. I'm also going to tweak the soil to account for some of the knowledge he has about the strain.

He uses far more Mg than I would have thought.....

Re: DocBud - New Room - Super Soil - Etc.

It's very simple really...Doc will switch to hydro when hydro produces the dankest, best tasting, highest quality buds...but not until.

I'm probably not ever going to "switch" to hydro. I like soil, and I think that overall, soil renders better quality, other things being equal.

My hydro buddy has been growing the same cut of OG for 15 years....he has it down way past science, way past art.....he is doing it the right way.

All I'm going to do is tweak my soil to line up more the kind of feeding his is getting in hydro and see what comes out. He seems to think I can do even better than the hyrdro, based on how my Jack Herer does in soil. (that's the other strain he's been growing for 15 years.)

Basically, when I grow the OG, I'm going to be adding Epsom with every feeding. I'll heavier on the P and K....and I'll add a great deal of silica.

His stinks to high heaven, and it's because of sulfur and magnesium. The buds are huge due to the lighting and canopy control....and the pistils are controled by adding massive amounts of P at key times during the grow.

I'll be learning all this, and will post pics as things progress. You aren't going to believe what those flood trays will look like in a few weeks.

Hey doc. Ur plants look straight outta paradise! Lol
I been trying to make a decision on whether to hack one of my plants or not. The plant in question is my Moby Dick #2. I noticed it stop growing while my Moby Dick #1 kept on swelling like crazy. The buds on MB#2 have brown n orange pistils n upon closer inspection... Green n white seeds!! How could they become seeded n my MB1 isnt. Neways I looked for a hermie but no luck. I don't want my other plant to be seeded ( tho it must already b too late) all in all d question is should I pull MB2 or let her finish. D budding on MB2 isn't great. N even d small immature bud sites have brown dying pistils. I am at day 45 in flower btw

Takin note! I wanna scrog some OG kush dwc style next run!

Are they real seeds? Sometimes plants have swollen calyx's that look like seeds but aren't.

Once a plant is seeded, it doesn't swell quite as much, but some say the finished product is better.....although certainly not in a commercial sense.
